For 1 serving
Prepare the Berries
Gently rinse 0.5 cup of fresh berries under cool running water. Pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. If using larger berries like strawberries, you may slice them in half or quarters for easier eating.
TIPEnsure berries are completely dry to prevent watering down the yogurt and diluting its creamy texture.Prepare the Mint
Wash 2 sprigs of fresh mint under cool water. Carefully pluck the leaves from the stems, discarding the stems. You can either leave the leaves whole or roughly chop them, depending on your preference for garnish.
Assemble the Yogurt Base
Spoon 0.75 cup of Greek yogurt into a serving bowl. Ensure the yogurt is evenly distributed across the bottom of the bowl, creating a smooth, inviting base for the berries.
Add Berries and Garnish
Arrange the prepared 0.5 cup of fresh berries on top of the Greek yogurt. Scatter the fresh mint leaves over the berries for a fragrant and visually appealing finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.
TIPFor an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the berries just before serving.
